Episode Ep. 07 - Cowboys, Carpet Dwellers, and Control Panels
This episode dives into the messy, hilarious, and sometimes dangerous transition from school to the manufacturing floor. We unpack early-career mistakes, cowboy engineering, the Dunning-Kruger effect, and why safety rules exist for a reason — especially when hydrogen’s involved.
We also talk about the disconnect between theoretical design and real-world execution (hello, carpet dwellers) and how to build an internal compass when you're still learning the ropes.
Whether you're new to the field or managing the next generation of engineers, this one’s got stories, lessons, and a few hot takes.
